A  TASTE  for  reading  is  an  acquisition  the  worth  of 
which  is  hardly  to  be  overestimated;  and  yet  a  ma- 
jority of  children,  even  those  favored  by  circum- 
stance, grow  up  without  it.  This  defect  is  due  partly  to 
the  fault  or  ignorance  of  parents  and  teachers;  partly  also 
to  the  want  in  many  cases  of  the  proper  means  of  cultiva- 
tion. For  this  taste,  like  many  others,  is  usually  not  so 
much  the  gift  of  nature  ae  a  product  of  cultivation.  A 
wide  difference  exists,  indeed,  in  children  in  respect  to  their 
natural  inclination  for  reading,  but  there  are  few  in  whom 
it  cannot  be  more  or  less  developed  by  careful  and 
judicious  training. — Charles  Eliot  Norton.

Picture  Books 

T^ABIES  a  year  old  are  not  too  young  to  enjoy  pictures.   Indeed,  the  child's  taste  for 
fj    good  books  should  begin  in  babyhood.   Do  not  allow  little  children  to  see  ugly  and 
vulgar  pictures.    Even  the  "harmless"  but  empty  books  are  a  waste  of  time  and 
money.    Buy  the  positively  good,  like  the  following: 


These  picture  books  illustrate 

Mother  Goose

Johnson.  Margaret 
A   BUNCH   OF   KEYS.  Dutton.    $2.00 

The  charm  of  these  stories  lies  in  the  fact  that 
little  pictures  take  the  place  of  words  wherever  that 
could  be  managed  by  the  story  teller.  Beginners 
in    reading    will    particularly    enjoy    this.

n^rt^r.  Beatrix 
THE  PIE  AND  THE  PATTY  PAN.  IVarne.    75c 

Beatrix  Pniter's_  story-pictures  of  little  animals 
who  do  human  thines  are  too  well  known  and  too 
well  loved  by  children  to  need  comment.  Unfor- 
tunately artists  and  writers  of  mediocre  ability  are 
imitating  these  books  till  the  market  is  flooded  with 
second  rate  stuff  and  little  children  are  fed  on 
stories  of  too  narrowing  a  sameness.  Even  babies 
should  have  variety  in  their  literary  diet,  and  even 
Beatrix  Potter  is  not  always  at  her  best.  Buv  all 
the  following  if  you  like.  These  are  good.  Then 
stop  buying  books  of  this  sort.

true  to  the  "atmosphere"  of  Switzerland,  Japan, 
Holland  and  the  rest  that  the  books  are  better 
than  volumes  of  dry  facts.

BOOKS  FOR  BOY  SCOUTS 

Edited  by  Franklin  K.  Mathicws,  Chief  Scout  Librarian 

Books  for  Boy  Scouts  was  compiled  under  the  supervision  of  the  Library  Com- 
mission of  the  Boy  Scouts  of  America,  consisting  of  George  F.  Bowerman,  Librarian, 
Public  Library  of  the  District  of  Columbia,  Washington,  D.  C;  Harrison  W.  Craver, 
Director,  Engineering  Societies  Library,  New  York  City;  Claude  G.  Leland,  Superin- 
tendent, Bureau  of  Libraries.  Board  of  Education,  New  York  City;  Edward  F.  Stevens, 
Librarian,  Pratt  Institute  Free  Library,  Brooklyn,  New  York.  The  list  is  offered  as  a 
catalog  for  the  use  of  book-store  patrons,  especially  Scoutmasters  and  parents  of  scouts. 
It  is  hoped,  too,  that  librarians  may  find  it  s  srviceable  in  selecting  books  for  their  scout 
constituency. 

Lnfortunalely,  the  stories  of  Boy  Scout  life  that  can  be  recommended  as  combining 
first  class  literary  quality  and  adequate  interpretation  of  the  Boy  Scout  Movement 
are  yet  to  be  written.  It  is  recognized,  however,  that  a  list  of  this  sort  should  contain 
some  such  stories.  In  order  to  have  this  re  presentation  it  is  necessary  to  include  those 
books  that  are  known  to  the  library  profession  as  "stepping  stones."  Of  this  type, 
from  the  great  number  of  Boy  Scout  stories,  a  selection  has  been  made  of  those  that 
are  passing  fair  in  their  interpretation  of  the  Scout  Movement,  though,  in  common  with 
the  majority  of  books  written  for  juvenile  readers,  deficient  in  literary  quality. 

Books  selected  for  the  general  list  cover  pretty  much  the  whole  field  of  a  scout's 

reading  interests,  representing  chiefly  those  that  have  proved  themselves  satisfactory, 
for  the  basis  of  selection  is  made  upon  reports   received  from  scores  of  libraries  and 

leading  bookstores  representing  every  part  of  the  country. 

The  boys'  books  of  the  current  year  have  been  read,  some   in   manuscript,  others 

in  galley  or  page  proof,  a  few  in  book  form.     There  has  been  little  or  no  opportunity. 

therefore,  to  apply  to  them  the  above  test.      Until  such  basis  of  choice  is  made,  the 

1920  books  are  included  only  tentatively.    Those  listed  vary  in  quality  not  a  little  but 

possess  sufficient  merit  to  warrant  both  announcement  of  publication  and  consideration 

as  permanent  additions  when  the  list  is  next  revised. 
Books  marked  ivith  asterisk  are  new  publications.
